Hi Dean Have a look at http://veaseyjet.com/VeaseyJet/Model_builds/Model_builds.html to see what I mean. I think the Meister Zero build shows it best but they all use the same technique. I haven't flown any warbirds (fighters) over 40lb but most seem to be over that in the states so must perform OK....
I understand why the use of 3mm wire push rods was asked to be changed but a model of this size could still use servo's at the front if the elevators had a suitable joiner and a heavy duty carbon rod was used that was supported through the fuselage. I know of many warbirds that are done this way and...
Well done Dave. I best get my Zero out again for next year then. Did you not have the latest build instructions for it though as they say about the need for a down mix with flaps.
The latest journal is up to the usual great standard and I'm yet to read it cover to cover, but..........I am pretty disappointed to see that there are no TJD models whatsoever in the Rougham pic report considering the amount we took and flew. I do appreciate that not all pics can be shown and the o...
I added a few pics of this troublesome cat at the beginning of this thread. I'm pleased/releaved to have finally finished it and these pics are from its first public outing at the Blackbushe show last weekend
My current project is a Ziroli Bearcat which which was going well until the paint supplier gave us 1 part of a 2 pack paint but didn't tell us!!!! The whole model was sprayed then it all had to come off again! That was a while ago and its now back in colour again and waiting for some lettering to g...
The showline nationals last year tried some good things including flying 2 formation flights of a planes from different era's. I was lucky enough to fly the hurricane in one of them. A challenging flight but was great to be a part of and it apparently was very well received. http://www.youtube.com/w...
TJD have tried doing set routines in the past but its very difficult when you have 3 or more aircraft in formation. It relies on each aircraft being in the right place throughout the whole display. Sun position and wind direction/strength is also a factor that means things have to change each time o...
Hi Wendy, Welcome from Yours Truly. I liked your Journal article and agree with your no pilot in the 'office' bit (wooden propellers on warbirds are also a beef of mine, too). Cheers, Neil I presume you mean unpainted wooden props Neil? Hint taken. I've broken a few recently so best get the new one...

Check a few posts back mike, that's all done. I have two fuel dots in front of the canopy, one for the smoke and one for the fuel. The overflow is now neatly underneath too.
